I have been using aurora for about week now and really like it. Compared to Firefox 5 it is very fast and light. I have a very week DSL connection and at times it feels like i'm am back on dialup connection. Since i have changed to this browser I have notice a large improvement while working on the site over the past week or so in navigating the threads and loading speed of images. The only issue I have seen so far over the four or five builds I have used so far has been most of my plugins are not compatible yet with aurora But I am sure that will not be the case when the final version is released. In the mean time Mr Grim showed me a plugin to help with this problem https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/?src=api for anyone that is interested. And thanks Grim
